The load and settlement histories of stage-constructed embankments provide critical insights into long-term surface behavior under embankment loading. However, these data often remain underutilized in predicting post-construction settlement in the absence of geotechnical subsoil characterization. To address this limitation, the current study integrates bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) into a three-phase framework: data preparation, model construction, and performance evaluation. In the data preparation phase, the feature vector comprises basal pressure, pressure increments, time intervals, and prior settlement values to facilitate a rolling forecast. To manage unevenly spaced data, an Akima spline standardizes the desired time intervals. The model’s efficacy is validated using observational data from two distinct construction case studies, each featuring diverse soil conditions. BiLSTM proves effective in identifying key attributes from load and settlement data during the staged construction process. Compared to traditional curve-fitting methods, the BiLSTM model exhibits superior performance, robustness, and adaptability to varying soil conditions. Additionally, the model demonstrates low sensitivity to the range of post-construction data, allowing for a data collection period reduction—from six months to three—without compromising prediction accuracy (relative error = 0.92%). These advantages not only optimize resource allocation but also contribute to broader sustainability objectives.
